3 Connecting a TV

Connect a TV to the unit so that video input to the unit can be output to the TV.

You can also enjoy playback of TV audio on the unit.

The connection method varies depending on the functions and video input jacks available on your TV.

Refer to the instruction manual of the TV and choose a connection method.

When connecting a video device with an analog video output

• If you will connect any video device to the AV 1–2 (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks of the unit, you also need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks (p.21).

• If you will connect any video device to the AV 3–6 (VIDEO) jacks or the VIDEO AUX (VIDEO) of the unit, you also need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO) jack (p.21).

When using a set-top box to watch TV

• Connect the set-top box to the unit in the same way as playback devices (p.22). If you will receive TV broadcasts only from the set-top box, you do not need to make an audio cable connection between the TV and the unit or configure the ARC setting.

About HDMI Control

HDMI Control allows you to operate external devices via HDMI. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control to the unit with an HDMI cable, you can control the unit’s power and volume with the TV’s remote control. You can also control playback devices (such as an HDMI Control-compatible BD/DVD player) connected to the unit with an HDMI cable. For details, see “HDMI Control” (p.101).

About Audio Return Channel (ARC)

ARC allows audio signals to travel both ways under HDMI Control. If you connect a TV that supports HDMI Control and ARC to the unit with a single HDMI cable, you can output video/audio to the TV or input TV audio to the unit.

• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the security software or firewall settings appropriately.

• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.

• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit, as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network parameters manually (p.81).

• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Information” (p.81) in the “Setup” menu.

• Please note the following when using YPAO.

– Use YPAO after connecting a TV and speakers to the unit.

– During the measuring process, test tones are output at high volume. Ensure that

the test tones do not frighten small children. Also, refrain from using this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.

– During the measuring process, you cannot adjust the volume.

– During the measuring process, keep the room as quiet as possible.

– Do not connect headphones.

Press RECEIVER z to turn on the unit.

Turn on the TV and switch the TV input to display

video from the unit (HDMI OUT jack).

• Operations with TV screen are available only when your TV is connected to the unit via HDMI. If not, carry out operations while viewing the front display.
